I am planning on giving my old powerbook G4 (OSX 10.4) to a good friend who has helped me a lot. I updated the accounts to add him and give him admin permission and logged myself out (but did not delete myself). When I boot the system it comes up in my account. Also the profiler list the system as mine. How/what do I change to reflect it as his computer?

the computer name is set via System Preferences > Sharing.

If your account logins in automatically, that is set in Sys Prefs > Accounts > Login options.
